Why Compare Marketplace Fees?

Use the Full Quote

Commission alone can hide payment, per-sale, withdrawal and recurring costs. Allocate each current charge to the same sale before comparing.

Platform-by-Platform

Copy the terms from each current seller quote into a named scenario. Keep the quote date and category in the scenario name for review.

Category Matters

Rates can vary by category, service level, fulfilment method and promotion. This tool uses only the rates you enter.

Payout Timing

Cash flow matters, but timing is outside this calculation. Record and verify each platform's current reserve, settlement and payout terms separately.

Marketplace fee workflow

Compare net payout before choosing a marketplace channel

Compare how your current commission, payment, fixed per-sale, withdrawal and allocated recurring fees affect net seller payout.

Fee comparison estimate

Inputs and outputs stay in this browser unless you copy, download, print, save, or share them.

Primary task

  • Enter sale price, currency and up to three named fee quotes.
  • Allocate any subscription or onboarding cost to one expected sale.
  • Compare total deductions and net payout on the same basis.

Result and export

  • Estimated net payout and total deduction for every completed scenario.
  • Best-net marker is mathematical only, not a platform recommendation.
  • Copy and TXT download actions for seller planning notes.

Before you use it

  • Verify current seller fees directly in each platform portal.
  • Include logistics, returns, storage, ads, and packaging outside this fee estimate.
  • Confirm payout timing before buying replacement stock.

Assumptions and freshness

Marketplace fees and payout policies can change without notice. This is a planning comparator, not an official platform quote.

Report tool issue

Planning utility only. It is not an official filing, legal, tax, accounting, security, finance, platform, lender, or live-data service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which marketplace has the lowest fees?
The calculator does not embed or rank current platform rates. Enter dated seller terms for the same product and service level; the lowest total deduction in those inputs produces the highest mathematical net payout.
Can rates differ by product category?
They may differ by platform, country, category, fulfilment method, campaign and seller agreement. Use the exact terms shown in your current portal or written quote.
What's the difference between listing fee, commission, and payment fee?
Commission and payment fees are percentage deductions. Fixed per-sale and withdrawal charges are amounts deducted from one payout. Allocate a recurring or one-time cost across the number of sales you reasonably expect, then enter the per-sale allocation.
Should I sell on multiple platforms at once?
Net payout is only one factor. Compare logistics, returns, fraud controls, advertising, service obligations and payout timing from current terms before choosing channels.
